Is it a lower water flow through this hose than through a regular garden hose? I need substantial water pressure, like to wash off my deck and jobs like that

No perceptible reduction if you use the right nozzle. I have 3 different nozzles for these and they all produce great water pressure. There are a lot of inadequate nozzles out there. Get solid brass and you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes there is a pretty substantial reduction, but thats not as annoying as the weight of the hose increases as it fills with waterYou have to drag it along like a cartoon accordian.

The flow rate is lower than a standard hose. However, the pressure should be adequate for your purpose.

It's really a function of the nozzle you put on it. The diameter of it seems to be narrower thanthe normal hose and I have no problem than with the pressure.

Yes, water flow is limited. I periodically refresh the water in my pond and it takes much longer with this hose. It's great otherwise.
3292
Yes-- the water pressure will be reduced some as compared to a bigger dia. hose.[That is physics ] However, if you have very good [i.e high] pressure to start with, it will not be a very notable reduction. If your pressure is not very high to start with, the reduction will be much more noticeable.

It is definitely a lower pressure hose. It has a smaller diameter than a regular garden hose.

I used the hose only as a replacement, but I really don't think you would notice much, if any, reduction in pressure at the nozzle. There might be a small reduction in the volume of water expelled due to friction of the water along the internal wall of the longer hose. That's just my theory. I am not an hydraulic engineer. Hope this answer helps you out.

Yes, this puts higher water pressure down the drain. Basically whatever pressure comes out of the faucet can be sent down the drain with this, which is generally much higher than the pressure of a sink-full of water.

I also have a very strong water pressure and it doesnt affect the hose.Works fine-no problem

I'm assuming you've got one on the pump since 2hp could blow most garden type hoses. You shouldn't exceed 30psi on the line and the flow should be fine. If the pressure is unregulated, who knows what it will do to your system.

I bought the 25' to use for my patio plants.....I barely turn it on and get a nice shower for my plants..It is my opinion that you should not use much pressure. I received a 50' hose for Christmas to use in my front yard...do not plan on using much pressure..

Hi, This system is designed for only low flow as it says in the item description like veg garden for best results only for shorter distance. I got it for my garden to attach one of the sprinkler head so that my garden gets water. I guess you need one step higher may be.

I don't know. I use a regular garden hose for Home Depot and that worked fine.

I wouldn't say it's good for that because of the pressure. Great for garden watering and the hose is light so easy to stretch out long distances. I don't think you can add another attachment to the hose to make the pressure better though...so I wouldn't suggest it for the patio washing.

I have no idea. Mine leaked almost from day 1 and we just have regular suburban water pressure. It's not even that strong actually, compared to other neighborhoods.

Mine work at low pressure levels. I occasioally turn doen the flow using an in-line valve when watering smaller areas. the sprinkler works fine at the reduced pressure.

I have the stainless steel one, and yes, the pressure seem diminished slightly. Not sure if it's a 'green' low flow feature.

Spray nozzle, no, its only gravity so you don't get a lot of pressure but its good enough to get the water out flowing from a rigid hose.

No. It is only a simple check valve for a water hose type system. If you want to reduce the water pressure, then you would need to insert a restrictive rubber washer or else get a pressure regulator.

No. There is often a flow restrictor that can be removed to give more pressure if your water pressure is low.

There is a collar on the hose you attach to your garden hose that you need to open -- it's a valve that opens up the flow of water from the barrel. It isn't really obvious, and I kept closing it when I first attached it to the other hose. Also, since it is gravity fed, it won't push water uphill, no matter how full it is. Hope that helps!

No. It doesn't restrict water flow when connected to a 5/8 garden hose, works great and I would recommend this product to anyone.
